Hello All, Kiwix <http://kiwix.org/wiki/Main_Page> enables you to have the whole Wikipedia at hand wherever you go! On a boat, in the middle of nowhere or in Jail, Kiwix gives you access to the whole human knowledge. You don't need Internet, everything is stored on your computer, USB flash drive or DVD!
Why am I sending this mail? About 2 months I had a conversation with Rupert of Wikimedia CH and a friend Martin who was in Ghana by then. It was all about getting Kiwix to a library project in Akwatia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akwatia> by and NGO which Martin was volunteering for. Thanks to Wikimedia CH and the Kiwix team Kiwix was sent to both myself and Martin's address. I've so far tried / run Kiwix on 5 Linux distributions ( *Manjaro*, *Elementary OS* (Ubuntu based), *Ubuntu*, *Crunchbang (*Debian based) and *Fedora*,), *Windows 7* and *8*, and all has worked successfully. I don't know what to say now about Kiwix in Ghana, but anyone interested in how we (Wikimedia Ghana User Group) can get Kiwix to areas/schools/community libraries where there is no internet access. Feel free to ask more questions about Kiwix and bring your ideas on board. Are we going to apply for a WMF grant to do this or how? Whatever just bring it on. Thanks. -- @Enock4seth User:Enock4seth
